I just took a look at the five leagues that comprise the Pac-5 Division playoffs for football and there is absolutely no way Crespi should be left out.

Assuming Alemany wins Friday against Loyola, Crespi will be going against Orange Lutheran, San Clemente and Tesoro for the final at-large berth.

The Marmonte and Moore Leagues will not have any teams even in the conversation for an at-large berth.

Crespi’s resume is way better than Orange Lutheran from the Trinity League and San Clemente from the South Coast League.

Crespi will have the best record at 8-2, beat a top-ranked from Arizona and Nevada, beat Westlake and knocked off Alemany, a potential league champion.

San Clemente’s only good nonleague victory is against La Costa Canyon.

Crespi also only lost to Notre Dame in quadruple overtime and by only three points to Bishop Amat.

It really isn’t close.

And to not take two at-large teams from the same league just because it rarely never happens is not an excuse.

The only problem for the Celts is they cannot host any playoff games the whole way because the school’s marketing department was involved in facilitating an advertisement that was taken out in the Daily News honoring past football coaches at the school.

Griffin McKinzie of Campbell Hall has verbally committed to play volleyball at the University of the Pacific. McKinzie has been on the varsity since his freshman year and has been team captain, and led the team in kills the last two seasons, establishing a school record last year with over 400 kills. McKinzie has been first team All-Alpha League the last two years and was eague MVP last season and MVP of the San Gabriel High Tournament. Last year, he led the team to the semifinals of the Southern Section playoffs and the Southern California regional final while earning All-Soutern Section honors. For the past two years, McKinzie has been selected to compete at the USA Volleyball High Performance Championships. McKinzie plays club volleyball for Santa Monica Beach Club boys’ team, which has won two bronze medals at Junior Nationals and finished fifth last year.
